Overview

College Diploma in Interior Decorating

Conestoga's Interior Decorating program offers you a dynamic environment to build the creative and technical skills needed to excel in the diverse field of Interior Decorating. 

Learning from industry experts, you'll develop essential and practical skills through studio, lab, and lecture experiences, in addition to field trips and guest speakers. 

You'll take courses on colour, textiles, finishes and fixtures, which are enhanced with access to our large sample library. 

With the benefit of current, industry-standard software, you'll focus on space planning, drafting and visual 2D and 3D presentations that bring your design concepts to life. 

Multiple business practices and entrepreneurship courses will further prepare you for success in the industry. 

A field placement opportunity in your last semester will allow you to gain hands-on career experience before graduating. 

Many students have secured full-time employment due to their placement with employers such as decorating/design firms, product showrooms, design magazines and home staging companies.
